Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2011098141A1] Wireless packet transmission system using TDMA and frequency hopping provides sound to a hearing aid device. The hearing aid device passively synchronises to the transmitting audio source unit by listening to the beacon packet that comprises information for hopping sequence synchronisation and for listening to audio and beacon packets. The hearing aid wakes up periodically to listen to the beacon packet. In the unsynchronised phase, the sleep period (or beacon listening period) differs from the beacon transmission period by a certain percentage to allow for final successful reception of the beacon packet. Once the beacon packet has been successfully received, the hearing aid switches into a synchronised mode whereby the reception unit of the hearing aid follows and uses the frequency hopping sequence and timing of the transmission unit.
